It was the New York Rangers who took the lead when Mika Zibanejad scored his 33rd goal of the season, but then St. Louis took over. The receipt came through Colton Parayko in the second period and in the third Brayden Schenn and Jaden Schwartz added to the result 3-1.

Zibanejad is eight in the NHL's all-purpose goal and has scored 33 goals in just 53 games.

St. Louis second in the NHL

St. Louis has the longest winning suite in the NHL right now and only the Boston Bruins have more points overall.

The Blues had earlier in the season one victory series on seven games and one on eight. In fact, St. Louis is the second championship team in the NHL's history to have three victory suites in at least seven games this season following a Stanley Cup victory. Montreal succeeded in that 1977/78 season.

"Has been upside down"

The Blues meet New Jersey on Friday and stay in Manhattan until then.

- Tomorrow we will be free, but on Thursday we will analyze the match. What we need to improve, says Steen.

It looks pretty good to you in the table, what can you improve?

- Box play has been up and down, for example. And even power play we can lift.
